Tis is a duty which often times! gets' toot little considera- tion. Candidates are named too fre- * quently for!the. purpose of filling a ticket without giving thought to the responsibililies 'which are involved in the selection of men to go to Hart- ford They are 'mominated for political purposes without regard to their fit- ness, a fact which indicates negligence instead of interestiin the affairs of the town and the state. ) . The office is one;swhich calls for the nomination anii‘subsequently - the election of the best'men possible. The coming session of thes legislature will have many important iquestions /before iz, and they will be questions which should 'be handled.by the best'minds °f the state. Such aresnot to be se- red by neglecting the caucus duty t by the people of the towns re- sponding to their opportunities for {1t work instead of displaying varted interest in the!prelim- and later on complain:because se different:results were not ob- tained. v’hen the people of every.town, big or little, insist upon the strongest pominees and give them the support at the polls, then will they:be per- ‘orming a valuable service for both town and state. To startithe next gen- :rai assembly right the . action of the :own caucuses cannot be given too mnuch importance. Zeesnsesens: FIGHTING NON-COMBATANTS. ‘s going to require different tac- than that attributed to Kaiser ‘a of offering’'special honors to rst aviator who'will drop a bomb , ndon. Such may be taken in a s a reply to the protests which been made about the dropping 1. ciplosives into sntwerp by the Ger- nan airships, whereby women, chil~ iren, hospital patients and non-com- atants in general were endangered, sut it is not likely to get much sym- sathetic support. Aviation has accomplished much in he two months of war and it may be vell to encourage the aviators to a est of their greatest efficiency but it 1wad better be donme in other ways. \eroplanes and dirigibles have been of ireat value to both sides in the fierce ‘truggle throuch the disclosure of po- dtions and thereby as great aids to he effectiveness of the artillery fire. They have demonstrated their useful- \ess many times over and deserve he recoenition which must be given heir services in the conduct of war, @ has been nothing to warrant the use of the flying ma- the terrorizing of the cities ntire’y removed from the scene of rar, v n though such a thirg as the h ng of bombs into Lopdon from uch agencies may never be accom- lished. the urgigs of such an endeavor tiscloses” an attitude which does no redit to a civilized nation even though t enzaged in war. It, however, e -n chance for a re- aonstrance if Russia takes the cue to clice it upon Berlin PEACE TREATIES. Even tho~h it is now engaged in rar with other nations, it is neverthe- **s a2 valuahle acquiaition that this ountry has, as with several others, igned the peace commission treaty rith Russia. Even thouza treatles ave come to be referrad to as scraps € paper, they are none tho less de- rable protections which are lkely > carrv greater weoight in the future, ¢ would be unfortunate indeed §f the Te of one country to obzerve its reaty oblizations should make St pos- Ible to throw suspicion on all others. 'aere 15 no reason to Heilevs that all an be judged by the one, As the New York Times well says 1 relation to the existing situation: fwo things are true of these treaties ne 1s that they tend strongly and di- sctly to o away with secreey, which | the condition precedent i¢ sudden nd endless wars. A nation which is arty to one of these treaties with an- her nation and abides by it must ct openly and with deliberation, and wst pecion with Informed public SRS fain e opinion at home and abroad. The ar- bitrary, harsh, unexpected and unex- plained final measures that precedé such a war as the present would be possible only by repudiation of the treaty. And the second thing to note is that repudiation of treaty obligations would be a se'f-condemning act. It would be a confession before all the world thaf the claims of the offending government could not readily and safe- 1y be exposed to the light of an im- partial investigation.” It is a stand relative to the adjust- ment of international difficulties which gives excellent promise of the desired results. It tempers quick action by a sane and sober consideration of the questions involved and gives recogni- tion to justice before force. APPLE CULTURE CLUBS. Most gratifying results should fol- low the movement in behalf of apple clubs for boys and girls, being ursed by the government. Its object is to increasg interest and supply needed instructions in the cuiture of the fruit and it is through-such an orgeuized effort that the desired end can be at- tained. 1t is in keeping with the endeavor to get Dbetter results from farming through the application of modern ideas, for it is important that there should be astivity along all the line< where better use can be made of the land under cultivation, devoied orchards or woodland, and part: that of which little or no use is now made. To teach children througa clubs by arousing competition means the dc- votion of spare time to valuable un- dertakings accompanied by more or less p'easure, while at the same time it tends. to the storing vp cf useful knowledge for more extensive usc late on, In New England especially there are cxcellent opportunitics for developins the business of apple raising. There sre many examples of what ean D¢ done, to say nothing of the great num- 21 of instaness whizh glaringly in- dicste that something ought 1o he d 1« in the line of this effo.

Tt may have been that Great Rritain was a little bit over-anxious abéut our shipments of metal to Holland, und: : the belief that it was destined to Ger many and felt justified in. holding ther up, but it is perhaps well that ther should be:some understanding concerr ing the situation in which Hollend finds itself, now as well as later. Gre.t Tritain- might have waited until it w certain: of the destination of the shi- ments that it cou’d have spoken wit zreater certainty, and not solely from the standpoint of suspicion, but there is reason to believe no harm has been done bevond repair. The trade be- tween this country and Holland is trade between neutral countries and but for the: fact that Holland could be used as the fence for Germany, no interference 'with the commerce would be attempted as long as neutral ves- sels were engaged therein. There are tricks in all trade and war is no ex- ception. GreatiBritain has decided not to be outwitted by its enemy." ‘This has resulted in the declaration from Holland that its ports and ter- ritory will not be used for the aid of any of the warring nations and as such.it shouldiclear the situation im- medlately andipermit the resumption of trade!hetween the: two countrie-. Ruch faeans much both to this countr- and to:Holland because of the larg: amount ' of goeds which is required of this-country by the Dutch. It is demanded by the position in which Holland is placed and discloses again the difficulties of neutrality. If it can be maintained.that country will be for- tunate, EDITORIAL NOTES. Cotton may be king, but it appears to have poor control over its dominion this year. What a grand theme war is go.ng to be for the husking bee scasdn now at hand. Carranza's resignation opens the way for a large number more of gocod res- olutions in Mexico, October is having fine success in its effort to make amends for the cold shoulder given by Septembper. Fiven the late fairs are getting some considerate attention from the fellow who l'find!eg the weather levers. ‘Wherever the German cruisers are permitted to operate unhampered they are taking full advantage of thelr privileges. People who are apt to speak right out in meeting are getting some fine practice obserying the neutrality regu- lations. Those North sea mines can be de- pended upon to go up like a lot of other worthless securities, causing death as well as misery. If quick and satisfying returns are sought by, the democratia revenue seekers. théy couldn’t do better than to put a tax on war talk. Inasmuch as our troops appear to be to maintain peace in Mexico it might be well to omit the exact time for their departure. Who is going to pay the bills Car- ranza has contracted. and where is the retiring head of the comstitution- alists going to make his future abode? The sickness of the king of Rou- manfa has symptoms similar to the youngster Who is willing to have cramps if he can stay home from school, If it is well that the churches should be filled for, prayers for peacs, why is 1t not a. z50d thing that such power ?Q :ou:ht, and the churches filled, of- en? The man on the corner says: Living in one place a lifetime wouldn't be so had but for the praetice some people have of keeping a diary dating way back to youth, District Attornev Whitman of New York hes shown that he is o man of accomplishiments, What he has done in his Al ult position on'y discloses what he ean do in the office of gov- ernor, Little Joe pressed his nose against the dirty pane of glass that served as a window in a very small room on Columbus avenue. It was dirty because no one, even his neat Grand- ma, could keep the cinders and dust from settling everywhere. But Joe didn’t mind that; there was no cloud on this particular day, for Mother was coming to take him to the circus! Mother who lived way off and worked hard to earn money so he and Grand- ma could have butter on their bread and an occasional doughnut bought from’ the cruller man who wore such a clean white coat. She was coming and she might never go away again. He had been watching for an hour with the five-cent piece he had earn- ed tied up in the corner of his hand- kerchief. This was to buy peanuts for the elephants. What if Mdther should- 't come! But she would come. She hed told him the Sunday before that she surely would for she said she must see those elephants' play base- ball and the “pink ladies” walk the tight rope holding parasols over their heads. - Joe was getting a bit discour- aged when he spied a little lady in the crowd who looked pretty good to him just then, a little fair lady with ripply hair and big blue eyes who waved to him and then hurried up the creaking stairs to put her arms around him and assure him there was vet time. So off they went together, he dream- ing dreams of all the wonders of the circus, she thinking of the days when she was an acrobat herself. Married at fifteen, after running away from home in a mad escapade, to discover that her husband was worthless. Then vaudeville, the circus, and very soon the little boy to care for. For six ears a struggle to earn enough to support herself, the child and the aged grandmother. From city to ecity she went until one evening while do- ing a piece of difficult balancing, she fell, the net gave way and she was plunged to the platform with two broken’ feet. After that no more acrobatic work, for she lost her nerve, then,—but she was brought to the present by excited pulls from Joe, who wanted her to see the tents and all the sights which loomed up as they reached the entrance. How the lit- tle fellow’s eyes shone, and how ‘Tother’s shomne, too, just a little be- cause she had fast hold of Joe¢’s hand. Ihey managed somehow to get past the tents where the-“fat lady” and the “skeleton dude” were holding re- ceptions, and in g moment were in the animal tent, big;, crowded, smelly. The kangaroos were funny, the apfrs, too, but the monkeys were asleep and quite disappointing, The tiins and tigers, however, made Joe's \iood tingle and the giraffes held him pell-bound. Mother was dreaming, t was hard to tell how she felt. First lie hated it all, and tightly held Joe's nand for fear of something, she did- 't know what, perhaps it was only ‘ear that she should lose him—could it be fear of the lure of the circus? No, oh no, not that: They must urry to the elephants, for Joe thought hem the best of all. He threw pea- uts into their mouths, and dropped them into the end of the funny trunks he threw them into the chair to watch the trunk curl over and suck them up to put them into the big mouth. How the great backs roiled and swung. It seemed to Mother like the waves of the ocean, and she was almost seasick or was it some- thing else: No, she. didn’t want to go back into the life. That was over. Now she was going to take care of Joe and Grand- ma, work at her place in the store, come home at night and mend nnrd cook. That was better than trapeze work—much better, and tien tnere was Joe. Everything else should be given up—but where was Joe? He was nowhere to seen. She ~tood still looking at every little boy ~he could see in a plaited coat and blue shirtwaist, her head sinking. Why hadn't she pald attention? Where was he? She heard a sob and turned to see the little fellow looking fright- ened and forlorn, while a guard was trying to find out something about him. She stooped where she was and put her arms around him, which com- forted him—and her. The band began to play and they hurrfed into the big tent. She had bought reserved seats for this won- derful circus, which were right in front of the stage where they could see everything. During the play and dancing Joe ate pop-corn and ice cream, without paying much atten- tion to the performers, but when the animals marched in and the clowns THE LURE OF THE CIRCUS WALHKER @ PRATT MFG. CO., MaKer came on, then the fun began. The horses he loved. They were to him the circus. Next in interest came the daring acrobats who seemed to fear nothing. Didn’t mother like them? She looked the other way and \Vlsh-l ed it were time to go home, but Joe didn’t notice her ingttention. Bye and bye, the end came, too soon for little Joe. But there was to be agWild West show, with more horses. n't he stay? Mother smiled into his eager face and said “Yes.” X They saw it through and were just getting up when there was a shout and a horse flew wildly around the tent with a man after him. Right in front of the grand stand the hgrse pushed into the crowd just as the man rushed up and caught him, but not before he had thrown over a lit- tle boy on the front seat. ‘With the horse quieted, the man with the big sombrero rushed to pick the child up and laid him in his moth- er's arms. She looked up to thank him—and met the familiar brown eyes of the man she hoped never to see again. He leaned towards her and whisp- ered: “He's all right. Not hurt a bit. Come, Mamie, come back with me to} the old life. It's grand! TI'll behave. Do come.” And the sombrero fell to the ground while he took both her hands in his. There was a moment’s 100k of longing and daring, then she looked at little Joe lying sobbing and frightened in her arms clinging to her saying: “Mama! Mama!” She and Joe were the last to leave the tent, and when they went back to see the animals, the guards were hurrying people away. So they threw the few remaining -peanuts into the crowd to the street. Joe’s hand never left his mothers. As they walked home together, he looked up at her and said: “Wasn't it great? And we can go next year and the next, ’cause you're never going to leave me any more, are_you mother “No, never, Jo —Boston Record. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Enforce Game and Fish Laws. Mr. Editor: I own a farm and am a taxpayer and voter in Norwich. For the last seven years, or as long as I have owned my farm, vandals in the shape of boys and men have hack- ed with axes and hatchets the sides of trees on my farm, to mark where thev have set steel traps and snares for small protected game, without my per- mission. No pen can do adequate jus- tice to the tragedy of the stee} frap. Myriads of unfortunate little g :its are left to starve or freeze and suffer for days, until death gives them re- lief, or the hunter finally knocks them mercifully on the head. The big gashes will last as long as the trees last. Com- plaints have so far brought no results from the game warden who is supposed to do his duty and catch the violators of the law. Other taxpayers have told me_the same regarding their Woods.l so I am not alone in my complaint. Last Sunday afternoon I went on a walk through Rockwell woods and Mo- hegan park. In those places I saw the hacked and mutilated. sides of trees, both large and small, and found many steel traps and snares placed there in violation of our laws. I and the other farmers had just the same protection before any fish and game laws were placed upon the stat- ute books. The fish and game laws are of no protection to the poor farm- ers_unless they ‘are enforced. Now is the open season for smooth- tongued political workers who, circu- 'ate among the farmers telling what ‘aws they will make for our protection if we will only promise to vote them on the way to Hartford. They prom- ise us laws for our protection, but-do not promise the same laws will be enforced. ‘What good are the laws if not en- forced? The majority of us farmers now realize that the fish and game laws are a Joke, as they are not being enforced by those whose sworn duty It is to give the farmers at least some protection from the city vandals who without ssion trespass on our property. Does the democratic party protect the farmers by enforcing the fish and game laws? 1 say No! Why not? Because the democratic party fears that if they enforce the laws they will lose a few city votes. But the democratic party, when they see how the Conmecticut farmers vote on Nov. 3, will be greatly surpriced as they Combination Coal and Gas aw7lor ’ IPanse.s You need a coal range in Winter for kitchen warmsh and for continuous hot water supply, but in Summer when you want a cool kitchen and less hot water a Gas range is the thing.

HOURIGAN, s, 31 Union Street, Boston To Put On Flesh And Increase Weight A Physician’s Advice Most thin pe.pic pounds of good s every day and still weight one ounce, hand many eat very ii the time. is the nature of the Naure's way at all. Thin folks stay thin because tneir powers of assimilation arc defective They absorb just enough of the food they eat to maintain life and a sem- blance of health and strength. Stufing won't help them. A dozen meals a day won't make them galn a single “stay’ there” pound. All the fat-producing elements of thelr food just stay in the intestines until they pass from the body as waste. What such people neec is something that will preparo these fatty food elements so that heir blood can absorb them and deposit them all about the body—something, too, that will multiply their red blood corpuscles and increase their blood’s Ccarrying power. For such a condition I always recom- mend eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol is not, as some believe, a patented drug, but is a scientific com- bination of six of the most effective and powerful flesh building elements known to chemistry. It is_absolutely harmless. yet wonderfu..y effective, and a singlé tablet eaten with each meal often has the effect of increasing the welght of a thin man or woman from three to five pounds a week. Sargol is sold by Lee & Osgood and other g0od druggists ev- erywhere on positive guarantee of Weight increase or money back. 1 ur to six «t-making food not increase in nile on the other chunky folks | ebp galning ail| to say that tais| wdivigual. 1t dsn't realize their big mistake of not giving us farmers proper protection. On Oct. Sth the hunting season opens. Does the democratic party give the licensed hunters of New London county a square deal and proper pro- tection? I say No! Last year and the year before those who hunted without licenses were not caught, and it will be the same this year, without doubt. It seems perfectly safe to hunt without a‘license in New London coun- ty as long as the democratic party is in power. The licensed hunters can kick, but will it do them any good? Will Fish and Game_ Commissioner T. Harry Mclaughlin, M. D, of Jewett City see that the farmers and licensed hunters of New London county have a square deal and protection this year? As the season opens within a week, Dr. McLaughlin, don’t you think quick action is needed to get your men on their job? If each farmer and licensed hunter in this county will send a personal let- ter at once to Dr. Mclaughlin asking for the desired pretection, perhaps he will order the fish and game laws to be enforced and see that they are en- forced. If there is no ¢hange before election the only hope of the farmer- 1 - censed hunters who desire * en- forcement of the fish and game laws will be to vote a straight republican ticket on Nov. 3 Yours truly, TAXPAYER.
